Quite right, many are waiting. :)
L&P has laid the foundation for a vast and exciting story. One sadness is that without a team of developers, the development of the game will not only be delayed in time, but will certainly lose in the quality of content and completeness of disclosure of potentially interesting events. One person is physically unable to cope with such a volume of work. :(

A little higher, the guys discussed the plot associated with the role of Patricia. We can bring up a variety of subjects for discussion regarding various fetishes. But the understanding that the time when we will become witnesses of these events is so far from today, greatly saddens many of us.
After all, we come here in order to receive positive emotions, but a long wait creates an extremely negative background. Here is the dilemma.
Allow me to pass a concept here. In the age of sailing ships (We won't discuss where some sought their diversion.) The Captains and crews were often on multi year voyages. Think Captain James Cook as an example. They were away from loved ones (Wives, family, and mistresses :oops:) for very long periods. Even round trip crossing of the Atlantic took months. There were no Suez or Panama canals. Somehow, they had the patience to persevere. Hmmmmm, maybe we are on HMS Endeavor. We just have not recognized it. For some of you the end of your 4th year in this journey is approaching. Congratulations on that perseverance. Just Sayin'.

It's true about what you say in this statement, but the thing is there is a "Panama and Suez" canal that he can take, but he continues to sail around to the south to reach the open waters. Most of us are trying to guide him to the canals in "Hopes" that he would listen to make his life much easier. But I guess some people like the longer voyage.

That's why I'm worried that the only outcome for this game is that it will be abandoned. This five month wait is bad enough, but the real problem is that this five month wait portends disaster in the future. I fear that one day L&P is going to start work on a new update and it's just going to be too big, too complicated, too overwhelming, and he'll walk away from the game. This update grew to 1,000 renders, but what happens when an update grows to 1,200 or 1,500, or 2,000 renders? What happens when L&P anticipates needing 1,000 renders, only to realize that he needs 50% more renders, and months more of work to complete an update?

At some point the game is going to become a boondoggle. There will be too many storylines, needing too many renders, all requiring too much time, for an update that will advance the game too little to justify all of the investment. This is exactly the point of diminishing returns I've been screaming about for months.

This is why I've become so vocal in my frustration. It isn't just that this update is taking too long, the real problem is that it's only going to get worse. Without significant changes to the development process, this game won't survive to 2024.
When he started this story, He had chances to reduce the contents to put the novel in a state for one person to handle in the early stages. There was a point that it was starting to happen, but some members were upset about this and told him to remain true to his vision, and those comments started to grow and grow. So eventually, he reverses course and continues to work his novel as he intended, or so he said.

The question is, did the ones that support him to remain true to his vision helped him or hurt him by saying that???? On the one hand, he kept the content in his novel minus the deal/twist to appease his fans against changing it, and the novel remains intact. Still, on the other hand, He's making statements he can't back up, making longer CS/renders, moving preset benchmarks goals, and working longer hours.

IMO the current size of AWAM is too big for him to handle alone and I preferred he trim the fat to keep it at a manageable level and grow out from there as a developer. I was glad to hear that he planned to make "Coach Sophia's Event" DLC vs. adding this to the novel during this cycle. But if he started to edit his story now and, let's say, moved the side jobs to DLC (I would support making the Side jobs DLC), I think he would receive backlash for that choice since we're so far into this novel now. Some of his vocal members that support his vision would probably say that you're not staying true to your vision, and that's why I joined you in the first place.

I still think that if the text were complete with dialogue, thoughts, etc., the update interval would normalize.
Dialogue details are the key to reducing the interval between updates. New scenes and lighting are secondary as time consuming.

That's the thing. On one side of the coin, the story is "ALREADY WRITTEN.," as L&P states on his page, which I believe your statement would work, and he could have the dialogues written. Still, the flip side to that coin is he's adding more CS/renders and editing to script to account for those additional scenes or just editing the story in general. So, I don't know how he could complete the dialogue, thoughts, etc... if he is constantly editing and adding new scenes first. This Aiden event is a good example of that.

I found that one or two walked and talked was missing.
And Sophia who takes the dildo in Dylan's event and shows him how to use it! Awesome!
Dylan's cries are very realistic and the light effects are magnificent!
Please, you lucky guys, give me the answer to the most important question: what was in Sophia's bag and did she really manage to fit everything in it?
